Extreme Veteran Posts: 322	One of our geldings have been diagnosed with a rim fracture of his coffin bone on his front right. He has been just ever so slightly off. Every once in a while you can feel he didn’t step right or see just a slight head bob. It is so slight our vet wasn’t actually too concerned while we were doing the lamenes exam. No reaction to flexing or hoof testers, but I still pushed for X-rays... and turns out we have a rim fracture on the coffin bone. Vet reccomended a shoe with pads and clips (to help with restricting the hoof expanding), 3-5 months rest, and to feed Platinum Performance Osteon. Anyone else have experience with this? What therapies did you try that worked or did not work? Supplements?

I'm so sorry that I don't remember the exact route to healing we used. But I can say he healed completely and went back to running with no issues. It was this injury that moved me toward barefoot since his fracture was caused by bad farrier work. After Zans fracture healed I did just that. All of my horses are now barefoot.

	As long as a coffin bone fracture is non-articular they heal just fine after 3-4 months with the treatment plan you’ve been given. I have a horse they recovered sound from the same thing and he gave me years of good runs and miles of trail riding! He’s 25 and retired now! Edited by runs4fun 2018-08-26 8:09 AM
